Most Life Fitness Treadmills are intended for use on a normal 120 volt circuit in the United States and Canada. Below is
a table that provides the current rating for this product based on supply voltage. Make sure that the treadmill model sup-
ports the proper line voltage for the installation location before plugging into the outlet. Line voltage is noted on the prod-
uct’s serial label.

This Life Fitness product must be properly grounded. If the unit malfunctions or breaks down, proper grounding
provides the path of least resistance for the electric current, which reduces the risk of shock to anyone touching or using
the equipment. Each unit is equipped with an electrical cord, which includes an equipment grounding conductor and a
grounding plug. The plug must be inserted into an outlet that has been properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. A temporary adapter must not be used to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle
in North America. If a properly grounded, correct amperage outlet is not available, a qualified electrician must install one.
" A risk of electrical shock may result from improper connection of the equipment’s grounding conductor. Check
with a qualified electrician if you are unsure about proper grounding techniques. Do not modify the plug provided with
this product. If it will not fit an electrical outlet, have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

After placing the unit where it will be used, check its stability. If
there is even a slight rocking motion or the unit is not stable,
determine which stabilizing leg is not resting on the floor. To
adjust, turn the STABILIZING LEG (A) or (B) until the rocking
motion ceases and both stabilizing legs rest firmly on the floor.
Note: It is extremely important that the stabilizing leg be correctly
adjusted for proper operation.

After the treadmill has been installed and stabilized, the belt
must be checked to confirm proper tracking. First, ensure the
power cord is plugged into a suitable outlet, as described in the
above Electrical Requirements section. Then turn the treadmill
on. Stand on the side rails of the treadmill and straddle the belt.
To start the belt, press the WALK key, then press the SPEED
UP arrow key until the treadmill reaches 4.0 mph/ 6.4 kph. If the
striding belt appears off-center, see the instructions in Tracking
(Centering) An Existing Or New Striding Belt (Section 6.3).
Note: Normal belt operating position is for the belt to be located
within the belt travel position indicators on the motor cover (see
illustration to the right). If the belt is not in this position, see
Section 6.3.
